Pet Dentistry in Aurora, CO
Dental health is a critical part of your pet’s overall well-being, and our pet dentistry services at Loving Family Animal Hospital in Aurora, CO, provide comprehensive oral care. With our thorough approach, we help prevent and treat dental health issues that can lead to pain, infection, and other serious health conditions.
Signs Your Pet Needs Dental Care
Recognizing early signs of dental disease can help prevent more severe health problems. Schedule a pet dentistry appointment with us if you notice any of the following symptoms:
- Bad Breath (Halitosis): Persistent bad breath could indicate underlying dental issues, including infection.
- Difficulty Eating or Chewing: Hesitation to eat, dropping food, or favoring one side of the mouth while chewing may signal oral pain.
- Excessive Drooling: Increased drooling can indicate discomfort or dental disease.
- Red, Swollen, or Bleeding Gums: Inflammation is often a symptom of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
- Tartar Buildup and Tooth Discoloration: Yellow or brown deposits on teeth are a sign of plaque and tartar accumulation.
- Loose or Missing Teeth: Advanced dental disease can lead to tooth loss and pain, and unstable or missing teeth in your pet’s mouth often suggest underlying issues.
If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, our professional pet dentistry services can help restore their oral health and comfort.
Our Pet Dentistry Services
Our expert team at Loving Family Animal Hospital offers a range of pet dentistry services tailored to meet your dogs’ and cats’ complete oral health. Our services include:
- Professional Pet Teeth Cleaning: We remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent dental disease.
- Comprehensive Dental Examinations: With thorough physical exams, we can detect dental issues early to avoid complications.
- Tooth Extractions: When teeth are damaged or decayed beyond repair, we safely remove them to relieve pain and prevent infection.

Dental issues are ongoing in pets, just like in people, and regular care is key to keeping your pet’s teeth clean, healthy, and free from disease.
Benefits of Regular Pet Dentistry
Your pet’s dental health is key to their overall wellness, and routine pet dentistry appointments offer significant benefits, including:
- Pain Prevention: Early detection and treatment help prevent oral discomfort and infections.
- Improved Quality of Life: Healthy teeth and gums contribute to better overall well-being.
- Longer Lifespan: Preventing dental disease helps reduce the risk of systemic infections and related health conditions.
- Fresher Breath: Regular cleanings help eliminate bad breath caused by bacteria buildup.
When to Schedule Pet Dentistry Services
Routine dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for maintaining your pet’s oral health, and we suggest incorporating them into your ongoing pet’s wellness exams. However, we especially recommend scheduling an appointment if:
- Your pet is over one year old and has never had a dental check-up.
- It has been over a year since their last professional pet teeth cleaning.
- Your pet shows any signs of dental disease, such as bad breath, difficulty eating, or swollen gums.
